The effect of the land breeze on the mesoscale wind field off the Oregon coast

Creator:: Poole, Stephen Lynn
Abstract:: Two land breeze events occurred off the Oregon coast on the nights of April 19th and 20th, 1973. An array of four moored toroid buoys and one land station recorded the effect of the land breeze event on the surface mesoscale wind and temperature fields. The land breezes may have...

Seasonal distribution of nutrients off the coast of Oregon, 1968

Creator:: Ball, David Stephen
Abstract:: Phosphate, silicate and nitrate concentrations in the sea off the coast of Oregon were determined to study their seasonal distribution patterns. The water samples were collected monthly along the east-west hydrographic line off Newport, Oregon, from the shore to 165 miles (310 km) offshore. The samples were analyzed by both...

Analysis of meteorological and oceanographic data from Ocean Station Vessel N (30N 140W)

Creator:: Dorman, Clive Edgar
Abstract:: The thesis examines the principal air-sea properties at Ocean Station Vessel N (30N 140W). In a descriptive section, meteorological and oceanographic data for N are analyzed over 20 years (1951-1970) and 7 years (1964-1970), respectively. A rainfall estimate is constructed for the 20 year period. The yearly average rainfall is...

Nonlinear internal waves on the continental shelf

Creator:: Shroyer, Emily L.
Abstract:: The properties and evolution of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) depend upon the background conditions within which waves form, propagate, and dissipate. As a result, the NLIW field on the New Jersey shelf displayed dramatic variability during the Shallow Water 2006 experiment. Wave variability was exhibited by 1) amplitudes that ranged...

Crustal structures and tectonism in southeastern Alaska and western British Columbia from seismic refraction, seismic reflection, gravity, magnetic, and microearthquake measurements

Creator:: Johnson, Stephen Hans
Abstract:: Seismic refraction measurements along two unreversed lines indicate that the earth's crust is 26 km thick in southeastern Alaska and 30 km thick along the Inside Passage of British Columbia. The crust in southeastern Alaska, north of Dixon Entrance, consists of a layer 9 km thick with a seismic velocity...

Magnetic profiles across the Aleutian Trench and ridge

Creator:: Skorpen, Allan Jerome
Abstract:: During the North Pacific cruise of the R/V Yaquina in 1966, total magnetic field intensity was measured in the Andreanof group of the Aleutian Islands. Three north-south track lines were made across the Aleutian Trench and ridge between longitudes 175° W and 180°. Three small scale magnetic profiles across the...

Structure of the Panama Basin from marine gravity data

Creator:: Barday, Robert James
Abstract:: In order to quantitatively examine the crustal structure of the Panama Basin without the benefit of local seismic refraction data, the following assumptions were made: (1) No significant lateral changes in density take place below a depth of 50 km. (2) The densities of the crustal layers are those of...

Beach profile changes and onshore-offshore sand transport on the Oregon coast

Creator:: Aguilar Tunon, Nicolas A.
Abstract:: Two beaches with significant differences in grain size and thus in beach profile morphology and response to wave conditions were studied on the Oregon coast. Gleneden Beach, just south of Siletz Spit and Lincoln City, has a median grain size of 0.36 mm (medium sand) and a steep beach face...

Seasonal and geographical distribution of pelagic copepods in Oregon coastal waters

Creator:: Cross, Ford A.
Abstract:: The copepod population in Oregon coastal waters was examined from 116 oblique plankton tows taken during 1962. Quantitative Clarke- Bumpus samplers were used and stations ranged from 5-105 miles from shore along four hydrographic lines. Forty-six species of copepods were identified. The total adult population varied according to distance from...

Reconstructing salinity conditions in Nares Strait (Canadian Archipelago) from stable isotope profiles in bivalve shells

Creator:: Zima, Daniela
Abstract:: Nares Strait is one of three main passages of the Canadian Archipelago that channels freshwater from the Arctic Ocean to the North Atlantic. There are very few observations regarding the role of this region on the present day Arctic freshwater budget, and even less regarding the changes in freshwater fluxes...
